Comment(by thoughtpolice):

 There's logic to handle this in ```LlvmCodeGen.CodeGen``` but I'm not sure
 why it's not kicking in:

 {{{
         sameConv from ty reduce expand = do
             x'@(env', vx, stmts, top) <- exprToVar env x
             let sameConv' op = do
                 (v1, s1) <- doExpr ty $ Cast op vx ty
                 return (env', v1, stmts `snocOL` s1, top)
             let toWidth = llvmWidthInBits dflags ty
             -- LLVM doesn't like trying to convert to same width, so
             -- need to check for that as we do get Cmm code doing it.
             case widthInBits from  of
                  w | w < toWidth -> sameConv' expand
                  w | w > toWidth -> sameConv' reduce
                  _w              -> return x'
 }}}
